Hello,
we are possibly about to conclude a construction contract. The BBS is generally okay, but there may still be a need for clarification in some areas - we had it checked by the Bauherren-Schutzbund.
Now we have been sent the actual construction contract, which states:
"Contract partners, property, etc.
... The construction period from start of construction to moving in is usually 7-8 months. The preparation of work plans and statics as well as weather and the construction progress of ongoing construction sites influence the start of construction.
The start of construction is planned for November/December 2016."
Then it is pointed out again that up to 8 weeks of delays can occur in winter due to Christmas and weather, and even beyond if the weather intervenes.
What bothers me, however, is the wording: 1. "usually". That means to me: for comparable construction projects of the company, but it does not explicitly refer to our construction. It is too vague for me. 2. "The start of construction is planned for November/December 2016". That means to me: it is planned but not fixed; in case of doubt, we are out of luck and it gets postponed because something disrupted the plan.
How do you see it, am I too critical, or am I right? What is usual?
And, in case of emergency, does anyone know a good and affordable construction company in the Stuttgart region? ;)
